Imagination and How It Relates

Imagination and How It Relates

Imagination is involved in everything. It is impossible for the human race to do
anything without its imagination. It molds and shapes our society, our science and our art. It
makes things we dream about into real things. Imagination pushes the human mind to create,
to invent and to aspire to new heights. It revolves around everything. Music could not be
created without imagination. You can trace everything back to imagination. A person sitting
on top of a hill sees the landscape below and thinks to himself, "How beautiful." And then

stress. Every day we imagine what we want in life. A seven-year-old child may only
imagine a toy he wants to buy, or a television show he wants to watch. The child's mind only
occasionally thinking towards the future seriously. An older child may think about what he
wants to do when he gets older. What he "wants to be when he grows up." He imagines how
his life will be. How he wants it to be. A smart child will realize what he needs to do to
achieve those goals. The child then moves onward in his life, still dreaming and imagining.
Corporations use imagination to their advantage also. A bleach company puts out a
commercial to influence the imaginations of the viewer. The viewer sees the bleach
company's bleach turn a sock from a...
